The data in the Alternative Fueling Station Locator are gathered and verified through a variety of methods. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) obtains information about new stations from trade media, Clean Cities coalitions, the Submit New Station form on the Station Locator website, and through collaborating with infrastructure equipment and fuel providers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and industry groups.
Users submitting updates through the "Submit New Station" or "Report a Change" forms will receive an email confirmation of their submittal. NREL will verify station details before the station is added or updated in the Station Locator. The turnaround time for updates will depend on the completeness of the information provided, as well as the responsiveness of the station or point of contact.
NREL regularly compares its station data with those of other relevant trade organizations and websites. Differences in methodologies, data confirmation, and inclusion criteria may result in slight variations between NREL's database and those maintained by other organizations. NREL also collaborates with alternative fuel industry groups to identify discrepancies in data and develop data sharing processes and best practices. NREL and its data collection subcontractor are currently collaborating with natural gas, electric drive, biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen, and propane industry groups to ensure best practices are being followed for identifying new stations and confirming station changes in the most-timely manner possible.
Most existing stations in the database are contacted at least once a year on an established schedule to verify they are still operational and providing the fuel specified. Based on an established data collection schedule, the database is updated on an ongoing basis. Stations that are no longer operational or no longer provide alternative fuel are removed from the database as they are identified.
Public, non-networked electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are proactively verified every other year, with half of the EV charging stations verified each year. This adjustment is to accommodate the growing number of EV charging stations in the Station Locator. NREL will continue to make updates to any station record if changes are reported.
Each point on the map is counted as one station in the station count. A station appears as one point on the map, regardless of the number of fuel dispensers or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) ports at that location. Station addresses are geocoded and mapped using an automatic geocoding application. The geocoding application returns the most accurate location based on the provided address. Station locations may also be provided by external sources (e.g., station operators) and/or verified in a geographic information system (GIS) tool. This information is considered highly accurate, and these coordinates override any information generated using the geocoding application.
The Station Locator defaults to searching only for public stations. To include private stations in the search, use the Station button on the "Advanced Filters" tab.
Stations with an access listing of "Private - Fleet customers only" may allow other entities to fuel through a business-to-business arrangement. For more information, fleet customers should refer to the information listed in the details section for that station and contact the station directly.
The Station Locator includes information on private fleet fueling stations (e.g., transit bus fueling facilities, other medium- and heavy-duty fueling and charging infrastructure), workplace charging stations, and multi-family housing charging stations. Note that information on these stations is not always published online or in the data download but may be tracked only in the backend Station Locator database. Information tracked only in the backend database may be provided by request to the webmaster listed in the "More Information" section below.
Stations that are reserved for patrons of a business, such as guests of a hotel, visitors of a museum, or customers of a retail store, are included in the Station Locator and are listed as public. These stations appear on the Station Locator by default, as do all public stations.
Stations with restricted access will include relevant information about who may access the station and when the station may be open to the broader public on the station details page. This information is also available in the data download. See the "Download Data" section below to download datasets from the Station Locator.
NREL collects and publishes data on planned station locations, particularly those that are sited and have begun the installation process. In addition, the Station Locator includes stations that are temporarily out of service or offline with plans to open again in the future. To include planned and temporarily unavailable stations in the search results, use the "Advanced Filters" tab.
The Station Locator only includes stations offering biodiesel blends of 20% (B20) and above for a certain period of time during the year. The available blends at each station location are displayed when the station location is selected.
Each point on the map is counted as one station in the station count. The number of EVSE ports and types of connectors available at each station location are displayed in the details page for each station location. Users may search by charger types, connectors, and networks using the Fuel button on the "Advanced Filters" tab.
NREL is in the process of transitioning EV charging station counting logic to align with the hierarchy defined in the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol: station location, EVSE port, and connector. With this transition, NREL is updating the number of EVSE ports (formerly called charging outlets) in the Stations Locator, which represents the number of vehicles that can charge simultaneously at a station location. The Station Locator also identifies the available connector types. Both the total number of station locations and EVSE ports appear in the EV charging search results on the "Advanced Filters" tab.
The Station Locator imports Blink, ChargePoint, Electrify America, EV Connect, EVgo, FLO, OpConnect, Rivian, SemaConnect, Shell Recharge (formerly Greenlots), and Webasto networked station data directly from these networks on a daily basis. Please note there may be variations in the formatting of API stations from other alternative fuels in the Station Locator. Also note, NREL cannot edit station information for the networks listed above. To suggest edits to these stations, please contact the charging network directly with the recommended changes. For network contact information, please contact the webmaster listed in the "More Information" section below.
As the above networks transition to the OCPI protocol, NREL works with each to integrate their OCPI-based API. This transition may result in increases to station counts because of the way that station data are shared under the protocol; one station may be split out into several new stations to represent different physical locations of EV chargers at one address (e.g., opposite sides of one parking lot). While the new stations may share the same street address, they may have different coordinates.
The Station Locator also includes data for the following networks: AmpUp, ChargeLab, EV Charging Solutions, evGateway, EV Range, Francis Energy, FPL EVolution, Livingston Energy Group, Powerflex, SWTCH Energy, Tesla Supercharger, Tesla Destination, Universal EV, Volta, and ZEF Energy. Data on these networks are updated regularly throughout the year, and new networks are added to the Station Locator as they are identified.
To see an analysis of the growth of EVSE ports in the Station Locator over time, visit the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Trends page.
Please Note: Residential EV charging locations and "wall outlets" not designated for vehicle charging are not included in the Station Locator, but workplace charging locations are.
The Station Locator includes stations offering high-level ethanol-gasoline blends (E85). Users may limit their search to E85 stations offering mid-level blends, such as E30, by using the Fuel button on the "Advanced Filters" tab.
Because many public propane stations serve customers other than drivers and fleets, NREL collaborated with propane industry partners to establish and represent the differences. Each public propane station is designated as a "primary" or "secondary" service type, with both types able to fuel propane vehicles. However, locations with a "primary" designation offer vehicle-specific fueling capabilities.
Public locations with the "primary" designation must be staffed during regular business hours and must not require drivers to call ahead in order to fuel. Primary stations must also accept credit cards or fleet cards as a payment type. To be considered "primary," the station must be able to fuel vehicles at a rate of 8-12 gallons per minute or faster, or at a rate similar to filling a gasoline vehicle.
Service designations are available in the details page for each public station. The Station Locator defaults to showing only public "primary" stations. Users may expand their search to include all propane stations by using the "Include stations with limited vehicle fueling" checkbox after choosing propane as a fuel or select this same option in the "Advanced Filters" tab.
Note that several states, including Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, require or allow in-state propane vehicles to obtain a decal in lieu of paying state fuel taxes at the pump. Out-of-state vehicles may still be subject to taxes at the pump. Determinations about price differential are made assuming that the vehicle has an in-state decal. For more information about state decals and similar laws and regulations, visit the AFDC Laws & Incentives database.
Some compressed and liquefied natural gas stations are not able to fuel larger vehicles due to access limitations, such as a low canopy, insufficient parking adjacent to the pump, or limited space to maneuver. Natural gas station details include vehicle accessibility information, specifically the vehicle classes that can physically access the fueling infrastructure. Please note, this field does not take into account station capacity, throughput, or other considerations. Options include:
Compressed natural gas stations also list fill type and fill pressure in the details page. These fields are also searchable using the Fuel button on the "Advanced Filters" tab.
Fuel cell electric vehicle drivers have access to hydrogen stations in certain areas of the country. Because this technology is in the early commercialization stages, the status of hydrogen fueling stations may change more frequently than other fuel types. To allow users to monitor station status more closely, hydrogen stations now indicate whether or not they have reduced fueling capacity.
NREL collaborated with industry groups to revisit the definition of public hydrogen stations and refined the Station Locator data to differentiate between stations that are only available to a certain subset of customers (e.g., require an access card, PIN, or training) and those that are considered retail locations (e.g., accept payment at the point of sale). Access designations are available in the details page for each public station. The Station Locator defaults to showing only public retail stations. Users may expand their search to include all public hydrogen stations by selecting the "Include non-retail stations" checkbox.
The Station Locator team began tracking renewable diesel stations in 2022 to publish in the Station Locator starting in 2023. The Station Locator only includes stations offering renewable diesel blends of 20% (R20) and above for a certain period of time during the year. The available blends at each station location are displayed when the station location is selected. Submissions of these stations are welcome and may be shared using the "Submit New Station" form.

The Alternative Fueling Station Locator uses the following charging infrastructure definitions:
Level 1 charging is a 120V standard wall plug using a J1772 connector. Provides 2 to 5 miles of range per 1 hour of charging.
Level 2 charging uses 240V/208V for residential or commercial charging using a J1772 connector. Provides 10 to 20 miles of range per 1 hour of charging.
There are three types of DC fast charging systems depending on the type of charge port on the vehicle. Provides 60 to 80 miles of range per 20 minutes of charging.
Tesla is at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution and operates an extensive network of Tesla charging stations.
As pioneers in this field, the company has produced and sold hundreds of thousands of electric cars. And to ensure convenience for its customers, Tesla has installed over 40,000 charging stations globally.
Still, many Canadians wonder: How do I find a Tesla charger near me? And with a vast network of Superchargers across Canada, Tesla and other EV car owners have plenty of options.
Tesla Supercharge stations offer cost-effective charging solutions and are open 24/7. That said, Tesla also provides wall connector and adapter solutions for charging where you park.
It’s great to know there are many Tesla charging stations and options for EV drivers. But using public charging stations is still a relatively new concept for most people.
So, questions such as, “Can I charge my EV at a Tesla station?” or “Where do I find a Tesla charging station?” arise.
This article aims to help new and prospective electric vehicle owners navigate their EV Supercharging journey. We’ll look at the Tesla charging options available, where to find a Supercharge station, and how to use one. So, let’s dive in.
Tesla offers a variety of charging options for electric vehicle owners in Canada. This makes charging your EV at home, work, or while travelling convenient.
This section will discuss the different Tesla charging options currently available.
Charging your electric vehicle at home or work is the most convenient way to ensure you have a full battery on the road. These are the places our cars tend to stand for the longest period each day.
These allow you to charge your EV while you work or sleep. So, having a charging solution at either or both locations is optimal.
Tesla wall connectors are designed for installation at home or work and provide fast, reliable charging. This wall connector offers customizable power levels, allowing you to charge your Tesla at a speed that suits your needs.
Wall connectors provide Level 2 charging capabilities. This means charging is relatively quick, but not as fast as using a Supercharger at a Tesla charging station.
Level 2 chargers can charge your battery in just a few hours for a range of up to 200 kilometres.
These connectors are compatible with all Tesla models and can be installed both indoors and outdoors. But you can also use them to charge other electric vehicles with the correct adapter.
The mobile connector is a portable charging solution included with every Tesla vehicle. It allows you to charge your Tesla from a standard electrical outlet or other power sources using adapters.
Adapters are available for different outlet types, ensuring you can charge your Tesla virtually anywhere. Adapters are also available for other EV cars, allowing you to use a Tesla mobile connector when on the go.
It should be noted that charging your electric car via a standard 120V electrical outlet will be relatively slow. Charging with a mobile connector and adapter is considered a Level 1 charging solution.
With it, you’ll be able to charge your EV for a range of up to 200 kilometres within 20 hours.
Of course, having a reliable network of public chargers is essential. Some might not have the means or opportunity to install a wall connector at home. And your employer may not have the necessary charging facilities available yet.
So, while charging at home or work is convenient and practical, it doesn’t mean you won’t need to charge while travelling. But what options are available to Tesla vehicle owners? Let’s investigate.
Superchargers are high-speed Tesla charging stations located along major highways and popular routes throughout Canada. They provide fast, convenient charging for Tesla vehicles and others while travelling long distances.
In fact, you could complete a charge for a range of up to 320 kilometres in 15 minutes with a Supercharger. But these Tesla chargers typically charge a Tesla vehicle up to 80% in just 30 minutes, minimizing downtime during trips.
With the correct adapter, other EV owners can also use Supercharger stations to charge their vehicles. This makes these Level 3 chargers ideal for anyone using public EV chargers.
Destination charging stations are located at hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, and other popular locations where you may spend time while travelling.
These stations offer slower charging speeds compared to Superchargers, as they are generally Level 2 chargers.
That said, they are ideal for charging your Tesla while you shop, dine, or relax. Making charging convenient and reducing congestion and wait times at public Tesla charging stations.
Tesla vehicles can also use third-party charging networks with compatible adapters. This expands the charging options available to Tesla owners, ensuring access to charging stations even in areas without Tesla-specific charging infrastructure.
Use our comprehensive map to find an EV charging station for all major network operators near you. But remember that there are numerous EV manufacturers and models.
So, ensure you have the correct adapter for your vehicle just in case the one you need isn’t available.
Tesla has the largest network of electric car chargers in Canada. And the company has made it easier than ever for Tesla owners to locate Tesla charging stations near them.
If you’re in a hurry, use our handy interactive map above to find your nearest Tesla Supercharger station or charging point.
Tesla vehicle owners can use the in-car navigation system’s interactive Trip Planner to locate nearby charging stations. The Trip Planner identifies Superchargers, Destination Chargers, and compatible third-party stations. This way, it helps you plan your charging stops efficiently.
The following steps detail how to use Trip Planner to find Tesla charging stations near you:
If you don’t own a Tesla, don’t despair. There are still ways to find Tesla charging stations in your vicinity. Non-Tesla EV owners can use various websites and mobile apps to find Tesla charging stations.
Some EV charger network operators offer online and mobile app solutions for sourcing local stations. But there are also electronic vehicle communities, such as PlugShare, with a comprehensive interactive map online. Other popular resources include ChargePoint and the Electric Circuit network.
That said, PlugShare is possibly the most popular resource and offers detailed information on each charging station. This includes the cost to charge and reviews of the station given by EV drivers.
Tesla’s charging network in Canada is continually expanding, with charging stations available in the following provinces and territories:
Operating hours for Tesla charging stations may vary depending on where the charger is located. For instance, destination Superchargers may only be available during the operating hours of the destination business.
However, Tesla Supercharger stations operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This ensures you have access to charging facilities when needed during your travels.
Tesla has made charging their electric vehicles a seamless experience, with a comprehensive charging network and easy payment options.
Understanding the costs associated with Supercharging and the available payment methods will make your Tesla charging experience even more convenient.
As such, one of the most common questions EV owners and would-be EV owners ask is how much charging costs. Of course, the answer to this question depends on where you’re charging your electric vehicle.
Naturally, charging via a wall connector at home will come down to how much electricity you use. And charging at your place of work would likely be free.
However, using a public EV charger does come at a cost, but it’s still less expensive than fuel. So, what does it cost to charge your EV at one of the many Tesla charging stations? Let’s find out.
Supercharging fees vary depending on factors such as location, electricity rates, and time of day. Generally, depending on local regulations, you can expect to pay per kWh or minute.
Tesla occasionally adjusts pricing to reflect changes in energy costs, infrastructure expenses, or regional electricity rates.
To find current Supercharging rates for your area, visit Tesla’s website. If you’re a Tesla vehicle owner, use the vehicle’s navigation system to access the Trip Planner feature.
You can tap different Supercharger station icons to view the station’s pricing information here.
Tesla makes it easy for Tesla owners to pay for Supercharging, as the vehicle is automatically connected to your Tesla account. When you plug in at a Supercharger, the station identifies your car and billing details.
Charges are automatically applied to the payment method associated with your account. And you can view a detailed summary of your Supercharging sessions and costs in your Tesla account.
To update or add payment information, log into your Tesla account on the website or mobile app. Then go to the “Payment Method” section. Be sure to keep your payment information current to avoid any service interruptions.
Other electric vehicle owners can use major credit cards or bank debit cards to pay at a Supercharger station. In fact, Tesla accepts various payment methods, including PayPal, in some regions.
Tesla charging stations are primarily designed for Tesla vehicles. But Tesla has expanded access to other electric vehicle owners. Electric vehicle owners can now access the Tesla Supercharger network (Level 3 chargers) and Destination Chargers (Level 2 chargers).
These are all compatible with other electric cars, provided you have the appropriate adapter. If you’re unsure which adapter you should purchase, contact your EV manufacturer to confirm.
Once you’ve purchased the correct adapter, you can charge at any Tesla charging station.
Using a Tesla Supercharger is simple and intuitive for Tesla vehicle owners. But it shouldn’t be a challenge for other electric vehicle owners. Let’s examine the charging process at a Supercharger station for both Tesla and other EV owners.
Follow these comprehensive step-by-step instructions to charge your Tesla vehicle:
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to charge your electric vehicle at a Tesla charging station:
Tesla has made charging convenient and accessible for both Tesla and other electric vehicle owners through its charging stations.

Tesla charging stations are not universally free. Some Tesla owners may have free access to Superchargers due to referral programs or promotions. But most owners pay for their usage. The cost varies depending on the location and energy used.
Tesla vehicle owners pay via their Tesla account with a linked credit card or other accepted payment method. The charging fees are automatically billed to their account after each charging session. And they can view the billing history and invoices in your Tesla account. Owners of other electric vehicles can pay using a credit or debit card at the Supercharger station.
The cost of using a Tesla charging station varies depending on the location, energy used, and type of charging. Costs can vary from the Supercharger station (Level 3 charging) to destination chargers (Level 2 charging). Generally, charging is priced per kWh or per minute.
Non-Tesla electric vehicles can easily use Tesla Superchargers with the same charging connector. But you'll typically need to purchase an adapter to charge your EV at a Tesla charging station. But availability will depend on the specific charging station.
The charging time at a Tesla station depends on several factors. These include the vehicle's battery capacity, state of charge, charging station type, and charging rate. Most EVs can charge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes at a Supercharger station. Destination Chargers, which offer a slower charging rate, may take several hours to reach a full charge.
